Dan joins David on Macro Musings to discuss how to promote greater financial innovation, financial inclusion, and alleviate the "too big to fail" problem by safely unbundling banking, money, and payments in our financial system. Dan and David also go on to discuss tensions in the global shadow banking system, the history of how banks evolved to play such a central role in our financial system, how the law has reinforced this bundling of the banks' roles, and much more.
